The Credit Card Companies send you those little things in the mail about how they've changed the terms of your credit card account. They don't consult you. They don't ask. They just do it. I was discussing this with my husband just this morning. How about WE start sending THEM a change in the terms. Like "all bills must be sent a minimum of two weeks prior to the due date" and "no charge for phone payment of your bill" and "no raise in interest rates without a personal phone call and subsequent negotiation." In addition, all deposits should be entered at the beginning of the business day and charges entered at the end of the day. That little trick is responsible for ba-zillions of fees right there. In addition, they must accept OUR terms or WE will take our business elsewhere. Their reply will be expected within two weeks. If no reply is received, we will assume that they accept OUR terms. Grreedy MFers!

The irony of today's banking system somewhat amuses me everytime I have to fraternize with a visit.
A metaphorical gay parade, where the unwitting populous may as well just walk in backwards!

The banks are killing the golden goose. No more bailouts for corporate bankers. No more should they be able to outsource their risk after acting like swine at the trough - lock em up and make them pay. It's all about de-regulation and limiting government to these bankers until they rip off too many people then they come to the government and taxpayers with their hands extended.
